Sorry to be responding so late. I missed this last week but hit it

I run aspell in ispell compatibility mode from emacs all the
time. Same with mutt.

In emacs:
(setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell")

In mutt:
set ispell="aspell -c"

I don't have ispell installed and wouldn't want to. aspell is simply a
*much* better spellchecker (at least in English).

I woud kno, my speling is atrocous.

Regards,
Mako
